Sharing Stories to Instagram

Instagram Stories can be shared from your mobile phone

Written by Sarah Parnall Updated over a week ago

If you're using our Mobile Companion App, it's as easy as a few clicks!

Simply open the Lumen5 app, select the published video you wish to share, and start! For sharing to your story, click the Instagram icon below the first scene. This will take you to Instagram Stories and allow you to add any customizations (gifs, stickers, and more!), or post straight to your Story. Once you've done that for your first scene, rinse and repeat for your other scenes!

If you aren't using our mobile app, you'll first need to transfer your video to your phone. Once there, videos on your camera roll can be uploaded to Instagram. You can even upload multiple scenes at once to your Story!

Open Instagram and swipe left to open the camera

Swipe up to access media on your camera roll

Tap on the video you would like to share to your story OR if you want to share multiple scenes at once, tap Select Multiple and then tap on each scene in the order you want it to appear in your Story.Note: You can only upload 10 scenes at a time to Instagram. If your Story has more than 10 scenes, you'll need to publish to repeat this step to publish additional scenes.

Tap Next. Preview your Story. You can also add to any scene stickers like stickers like location, question, poll or quiz.
